Chooka THE Member Donating Members 1,210 Member For: 19y 9m 6d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/10/09 07:44 AM Share Posted 06/10/09 07:44 AM Hey Guy's,I know there are/was a couple of guys into martial arts on here and want to get some advise.I need a new outlet and hobby as I will be starting a job that will require some weekend work, so will have to retire from kicking the footy around on weekends.I have dabbled a bit with Muay Thai, but seems to be a bit full on, RE. more about knocking out/ seriously injuring someone rather than stopping them.I am looking for something that will keep me fit, self defence, progression of skills and a bit of a lifestyle.... Just looking for some opinions from people in the know as all the research I do just seems to be advertising for every different style.So fire away, and thanks for the help!Chooka Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/62436-martial-arts-styles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
